Ninety-Seventh Day of School

This week we have been comparing and contrasting cultures and customs from all over the world. We examined the reason for several U.S. holidays and began exploring in depth the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will soon be bringing home our world map to study for our next Social Science test.

Also this week we have been learning to revise and add hints and tips to our procedural writing pieces.

For discussion:

• What is segregation?
• What is integration?
• How are schools around the world similar? How are they different?

You should find a Parent Conference Notification in your child's backpack along with a schedule for next week's dismissal times.

Reminder: Shoes worn to school should be of a type which allows for securing with a lace or strap. Boots or other foot wear without a securing feature are insufficient for 1st grade daily physical activities (P.E.) and safety. Thank you for your cooperation.
